    Last second decision (today - 09.26.2023) - bought 2023 MYP (from '20 MYP lease) - pickup tomorrow (09.27.2023)

    Repeating what many others have said, but there are significant improvements from 2020 to 2023 in sound isolation and suspension, quite impressed with this new 2023 MYP. One surprise for me was that Tesla (way back in 2020, apparently) removed the ability to reduce regenerative braking...

    Last second decision (today - 09.26.2023) - bought 2023 MYP (from '20 MYP lease) - pickup tomorrow (09.27.2023)

    Oh, and I was SUPPOSED to pick up tomorrow, however, they contacted me as they found a chip in the windshield, so they are replacing the windshield...and knocking another $500 off, so I pick up on Friday instead. I hope they find more stuff!

    That would be great if I could...if only my business was something related to 'satin' lol

    I'm one who was waiting for the Model Y refresh (Juniper) but the way things are going with the Model 3 refresh, and it's eventual release in the states, combined with little to no mention of the Performance model, I changed my mind this morning and purchased a 2023 MYP (midnight silver...

    Tiny chip in windshield - already inspected by lease end inspector - can I get repair?

    I've seen the other threads on this, not quite exactly as my situation...tiny chip (4 months old, so it's not expanding) on my windshield, inspector noted it so he said I need a new windshield...can I just get Safelite to show up to repair it or am I pretty much stuck at this point because it's...

    Should I trade up ?

    Deal breaker for me would be if the next MY is yoke-only - I can't stand that, buddy has a MS Plaid and it's annoying. Sounds like the same will come over with regards to stalk-delete, as in his car one has to work with the touch buttons and wheels and stuff. I'm sure I'll get used to that, as...

    Should I trade up ?

    My current MYP is off-lease Oct 1 (did a lease instead of purchase to see if it would work for us, with range, charging, etc - it worked better than expected) so I’m in the same camp as others, wondering if I should order now or wait for Juniper revamp. The incentives are awesome, for sure, and...

    Getting my new Y tomorrow, when can I order the Jupiter? [ juniper - only info states late 2024]

    Some articles state production on 2024 Model Y 'Jupiter' begin in October of this year, as a 2024 model, obviously. Gotta love Tesla, keeps us guessing, ugh.

    MYP Suspension Travel

    this is good news...I'm worried about it, as my '20 MYP suspension is so harsh, was looking at some pricey suspension upgrades for when I get my next MYP ('23/'24)

    2023 After market suspension upgrade?

    I, too, am researching suspension upgrades for 2023/2024 YP, as I'm about to return my leased YP (leased to see if the 'experiment' would work, range, charging, etc, it sure did!) and am EXTREMELY disappointed in the crap suspension on my 2020 YP - the back seat is unliveable, it's ridiculous...

    Performance Boost Available

    A buddy of mine has a MS with Ludicrous Plus, and now launch control. Took it out for a spin last night, and holy smokes is that insane! If Tesla ever allows a Ludicrous-like mode for it’s ‘lowly’ Models 3 and Y Performance, I’m jumping on it. You turn the mode on, press both brake and...

    Built-in navigation is weird/unreliable

    Possible, but it was two different areas, both of which right off the 5 freeway in Socal - you'd think well-traveled and therefore well-documented/recorded

    Built-in navigation is weird/unreliable

    I've used the navigation through iPhone handoff/share, which basically just enters the address for you into the Tesla navigation, and I noticed that it's pretty unreliable. Two separate familiar routes took me in crazy roundabout directions, made no sense, and it wasn't traffic/closure related...

    Deep Blue Metallic Model Y Picture Thread

    Finally snapped a few quick pics after getting it PROPERLY detailed (had to get the ridiculous swirls out from when I picked it up - my detailer thought it wasn't new, it was so badly swirled). Such a gorgeous color, it's amazing.

    I may have the best/funniest production flaw ever

    I finally got my car properly detailed, as the 'detail' Tesla did was full of swirls - looked like a 3-year old car full of bad wash damage. Looks amazing now, however, now that the surface is nice and clear, I found this gem of a flaw. It's a handprint in the paint! It's the paint, as I did...

    Service Center opening in Lake Forest

    Issues with Model Y wireless phone charger

    I have a Distilunion case that has a 'wallet' on the back. Normally I've had two cards in there (ID and one credit card) but now I have to carry an extra Tesla key as well, so I have three cards. My phone still charges on all my desktop chargers, but not on the Tesla charger, perhaps because...

    Anyone else have the issue that when you do a Siri command via the watch, you have to do an extra step by clicking 'Do' (or 'Cancel') on the watch? I can't figure it out

    Stats app question re automation

    Does anyone else get a required extra step on the watch that requires you to press 'Do' on it? I can't figure it out.

    Picked up my Performance MY DBM and it is freakin' fantastic. Didn't drive a Performance model 3 or Y, and holy crap is it insanely fast. I enjoy the sportier feel overall as well, as I used to be a Porsche Owners Club driving instructor (track/club racing). Only tiny little issues, rear...

    I got suckered into taking a new (not reject) Performance model, same color. That's what I originally wanted, but my wife convinced me otherwise. Desperation drove me to take the Performance, so I'm picking it up tonight!!!

    California waiting room Q3

    Not according to Tesla. He said it will likely be re-assigned according to the queue, for some reason. Said it was 'complicated' lol. We'll see if it stays on my account, but he said it wouldn't.

    California waiting room Q3

    No surprise, but the vehicle didn't get on the truck, so I'm not picking up tonight. Have to check back in next Monday, I guess. Oh well

    BTW, I was told that once they do inventory the first week of October, there MAY be more deliveries scheduled. I might be right there with you the way these deliveries seem to go, with changed dates/times/cancellations
  41. thefrenches

    California waiting room Q3

    Ugh, sorry, man - I talked to my guy at 8:45 this am and he found the vehicle while browsing inventory of what was not yet assigned, it's a 49 VIN so it's not a reject. Keep on him if you can

    California waiting room Q3

    I've been the squeaky wheel enough with my 'Customer Experience Manager' (who is at the delivery center) and he found a vehicle just like mine but WITH tow hitch (which I didn't order/need). Rather than wait until December (which seems like the next available timeframe for those of us who...

    California waiting room Q3

    I'm in the same boat as cabbqking - I don't see anywhere in my account an estimated delivery time frame, only this: "We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date. Delivery time frame is based on order date, profile submission, delivery location and vehicle configuration."

    California waiting room Q3

    I keep asking my SA about the status, after seeing so many who ordered well after I did, and I have no info on potential dates, no VIN, etc. Now I'm concerned I'll be waiting until December, which sucks, as now I'll have to rent a car if I wait that long
